Sheng Tian was travelling on a narrow path in a dense forest. The sun has already gone below the horizon. It was getting dark.
Sheng Tian wanted to camp somewhere before sleeping. After Meng Xin departed, he was travelling the whole day. He just wanted to go to a Place called "Snow Glazed Mountains."
It was said that there is a Glazed Lotus hidden in those mountains. It can be used by the Emperor Realm experts to advance their cultivation at an accelerated speed.
But the search for the treasure by the experts of the continent a few decades ago led to almost wiping out all the profound beasts in the Mountain ranges.
Now, there are only some low-level beasts there.
Sheng Tian wanted to practice and cultivate till a certain level before he enters the Cultivation World.
He knew that once he entered the circle of Cultivators, he would have to kill when needed. To hone his battle experience and improve cultivation through fights, he picked this relatively dangerous place.
As he almost reached the end, he suddenly stopped and spoke faintly "Come out."
Following the sounds of leaves rustling, a few silhouettes came into sight.
There were a total of five people, with a young man around 23 years old at their center. The rest of them were more than 30 years old.
Sheng Tian narrowed his eyes and gripped the iron sword every sect disciple of Sacred Sword Sect had. He said calmly "I am only curious to why you are so patient instead of attacking me right after the sect."
The Young Man, with a bulky stature, chuckled in amusement and said "I would have done that. But you seem to know some people who we can't afford. So we had to wait till you are far away from the sect. And we want to know where you are going to get the rare medicine you took to change your appearance, Ling Tian."
Sheng Tian smiled amiably and said "Oh, about that fellow cultivator. I was always this handsome. Alas, the heavens are jealous and blinded you so that this world cannot enjoy my handsomeness. Only Yesterday did I seal the heavens and started embarking on a journey of awesomeness."
"How dare you joke in front of this Young master even when I'm dumb to understand it? Kneel and apologize, maybe I will let you die with a complete corpse." The young man generously said.
"Die." Sheng Tian said and the next second, he jumped at the men in the right.
Sheng Tian's cultivation is only at the first stage of Elementary Realm.
Elementary Realm- Just like its name suggested, is the most basic Realm. The cultivators in this realm had to feel the profound energy in between the Heaven and Earth with their profound veins and dantian, attract it and absorb it.
The profound veins connections are blocked in each person. So, one needs to clear the blockages and let all the profound veins connect properly.
This is done by storing Energy in profound vein and using profound energy to clear the blockages.
The Energy stored in the Profound Veins makes the body also to be stronger than Mortals.
When all the profound veins are connected and each profound vein has a certain amount of profound Energy, unique to the individual, the cultivator is said to reach the peak of the Elementary Realm.
At the peak of the Elementary Realm, the Cultivator has stored some energy in all of the profound veins, making them much stronger than ordinary people.
Sheng Tian knew that the four guys except the young man were at the peak of the Elementary Realm from their unconcealed auras.
Sheng Tian had faith in his own strength that he can beat them.
Seeing Sheng Tian arriving at them, the men chuckled and threw out their fists to break his bones.
Fists faced fists.
"Aah.." The howl of two men sounded as they clutched their broken hands. In the direct confrontation just now, their hands were pulverized by Sheng Tian's perverse strength.
The three others were shocked at Sheng Tian's strength.
Sheng Tian took advantage of their dazed state and immediately broke their necks. This was Sheng Tian's first time killing someone!
"That bastard said that this trash is only at the first stage of Elementary Realm."
"He seems to be hiding his powers all along." The two men spoke in shock.
"No, it must be the rare elixir he found. We will get that and soar in our cultivation's as well. Kill him." The young man declared vehemently.
The three men quickly lashed out their swords at him.
They can't take him lightly anymore!
Sheng Tian swung his sword at the young man and kicked the two men in their guts as he swiftly twisted his body to dodge the attacks.
But his battle experience was meager and thus, he was stabbed in the shoulder and punched in the stomach coughing out a bit of blood.
*Clang* His sword broke as it is of lesser quality than the Young Man's.
However, Sheng Tian still had the upper hand in this bout as well.
The two men were sent flying by his strong kicks as they coughed out blood continuously and almost fainted.
The Young Man's sword arrived at Sheng Tian's neck, which he barely managed to evade in time.
The Young Man said out loud "I am half-step away into the Foundation Realm. You can't beat me."
However, Sheng Tian only smiled and used all his strength to punch the Young Man's neck.
The Young Man dodged his attack but he didn't see Sheng Tian's leg quickly move at a Terrible speed and kicked him straight in the crotch.
The Young Man never expected that Sheng Tian would do such a thing.
"Aaaaaah….De...spi ..ca....ble" as a pig slaughtered, he collapsed onto the ground and squeezed out one word with all his will power. Tears incessantly welled up in his eyes but he couldn't even cry out. The howls of a poor man filled the air as his white pant was dyed red. He stayed on the ground completely defenseless, waiting for the pain to subside.
But to Sheng Tian, there is no such thing as 'unfair'. As he saw it, attacking the enemies weak points is always a logical thing to do. Everything is fair in love and War.
Sheng Tian gave him no heed and quickly stabbed the two men who were trying to get up.
Then, he ended the pain of the Young Man Kindly.
After confirming that all of them are dead, Sheng Tian immediately bent down and started puking his guts out.
Despite how cold he acted, it was still his first time killing someone and he did it so ruthlessly. He was holding it back since the start. He is not used to the gore scenes, more so at such a close distance with blood all over his own body.
After feeling that he can't throw up even if he wants to, Sheng Tian slowly got up and sighed.
He knew the perpetrator of this incident. It must be the brawny guy. He should have incited these people telling them that he got a rare elixir in hopes of killing him.
If not for Sheng Tian's rebirth from Origin, he would very likely be killed. He didn't have the time to take the Nascent Core pill today as it would take at least 24 hours of time for a normal cultivator to absorb it completely.
However, he had no intention to go kill the Brawny guy for revenge, because he doesn't need to.
After seeing these people missing, the Brawny guy would be the one to bear the responsibility. His death would only be a matter of time.
Now, his main goal is to increase his cultivation to a respectable level and roam the world.
After all, Sheng Tian never wanted to hide if there was a better choice. After knowing a bit about this World from Ling Tian's memories, he wanted to see more of it.
This World is called Mythical World as it was named after a war that took place a very long time ago. Few say it was a Salvation of Evil while others believe it was a War between Mysterious Beings who coveted a treasure and so on. No matter which myth is mentioned, The word "War" is without a doubt present.
Legend also says that Mythical world once had all its land combined but due to "The Mythical War", The landmass is split into three parts. The three continents are namely Red Star continent, Snow Moon continent, and Blazing Sun continent.
The continent he is currently present in is The Red star continent. It is under the Rule of the Divine Dragon Empire.
The colossal organizations of this Continent are a Royal Family, four Sects and Four Clans.
The Four sects being Blazing fire sect, Mystic Ice sect, Sacred Sword sect, and Rising Valley sect.
These sects have control over a vast amount of resources.
The Four clans Yang Clan, Xiao Clan, Lin Clan, Qin Clan which can be compared only with the Four Sects and the Royal Family in the whole continent.
Though they are weaker than the Sects, if they fight without holding back, even a Sect will not be able to take the losses and might face destruction!
The hierarchy might look unstable, but it is also the reason for its stability. The one who breaks the balance will become the fish and the rest become fishermen. It's the reason why no one was taking an initiative to break the sensitive balance directly. But they do what they want to as long as it does not touch the opposite party's bottom line openly while many schemes and plots run in the dark.
